ESPN's Jonathan Givony released his latest top-100 ranking of players who could enter the 2018 NBA Draft on Monday, giving us an updated look at how college prospects have helped (or hurt) their draft stock. As Givony notes, the list takes every prospect who could declare for the draft into account, without trying to filter through players who might or might not declare.

The Boston Celtics could have the Los Angeles Lakers' pick if it lands between 2-5 -- an eventuality that looks less and less likely every day -- but they will have their own selection in the late 20s and the assets to spark conversations about moving up and taking players in the mid-teens if they target someone in particular.

We will have a full Celtics big board out tomorrow morning taking prospects at every level of the draft into account, but in the meantime, a few notes on Givony's list.

1. Deandre Ayton takes over No. 1.

The consensus top overall pick for much of the season has been Luka Doncic of Real Madrid, but Ayton has been hovering. A 7-foot-1 big man with some of the best physical traits imaginable and plenty of stretch potential, Ayton could be the unicorn building block for a great team if he continues his current development track.

2. Anfernee Simons is in the top 20.

Simons could enter the draft straight out of IMG Academy, using the Thon Maker work-around of doing a post-grad year at prep school, and it might benefit him to capitalize on team's interest. His body needs some development, but he has impressive potential thanks to his athleticism and 3-point shooting, and teams in the first round might very well be willing to talk themselves into a player projected as a lottery pick in 2019.

There's also something else to consider: Simons would currently be one of the youngest players in the first round. If he waited until next year, you might begin to hear whispers of worry about a near-20-year-old who still has a lot of developing to do at the next level. Those whispers might not be reasonable, but they could create enough of a narrative to affect his stock.

3. Mitchell Robinson might be on the rise.

The middle of the first round in Givony's list offers some really nice second-tier big options for teams who need a center but miss out on Ayton, Mohamed Bamba (who rose to No. 3), Marvin Bagley and Wendell Carter. Robert Williams, Daniel Gafford and Mitchell Robinson could all contribute at the NBA level, and Robinson in particular might benefit from the element of mystery surrounding him, after he left Western Kentucky without playing. Robinson -- who Givony has 16th -- is freakishly athletic with a fantastic build for a center, and teams could easily talk themselves into his potential with a great combine.

4. There's some nice guard depth late in the first round.

Again, we'll touch on this more in tomorrow's big board, but between 20-33 on Givony's list are 11 guards (counting 6-foot-5 Zhaire Smith as a shooting guard here, although he's relatively position-less) including Simons, Khyri Thomas, Bruce Brown, De'Anthony Melton and Landry Shamet. Any team looking to bolster their guard depth could have a wide range of skill sets to choose from.

5. The early second round is pretty loaded.

Jontay Porter's slide on Givony's list to No. 36 was surprising, given his recent performances. Both Smith and De'Andre Hunter make appearances as well, along with Rawle Alkins. Teams should be hesitant to sell their second-round selections for cash this year (and also every year (looking at you, Chicago)).

6. Hamidou Diallo is in the mid-second round.

Hamidou Diallo dropped all the way to 44 after a disappointing season at Kentucky. Diallo might very well have gone in the first round if he had skipped college last year, banking on his athleticism and length to wow teams looking for versatile wing defenders, and a third year at Kentucky might not out of the question at this point (and if he stays, the backcourt of Diallo, Immanuel Quickley and Keldon Johnson would actually be incredibly interesting).

Still, this has been a really tough year for the athletic shooting guard.
